APC VOLUME
To adjust the volume balance between the automatic accom-
paniment and the parts you play manually on the keyboard,
the volume of all the automatic accompaniment parts can be
lowered as one.
⇒ Use the APC/SEQUENCER VOLUME slide
control to adjust the volume.
• Use this control to lower the automatic accompaniment
volume when it is too loud relative to your manual per-
formance.
• At the MAX position, the volumes of the automatic ac-
companiment parts correspond to their current settings;
at the OFF position, the volume is 0. The volume should
normally be set to MAX.
• The set values are shown in the APC column of the volume
balance display. (Refer to page 31.)
• The volume can be adjusted for each part. (Refer to page
31.)
• When the position of the slide control coincides with the
actual volume, the indicator is lit. When the volume is
changed by of the PANEL MEMORY or SEQUENCER
playback, the actual volume differs from that indicated by
the position of the slide control. In this case, the indicator
is not lit.
• The volume of the PIANO PERFORMANCE PADS part
does not change. (PR804)
• During SEQUENCER playback or disk DIRECT PLAY,
operation of this slide control affects the total volume of
all the playback parts.
CHORD FINDER
The CHORD FINDER can help, for example, when you do

which keys to press and even lets you hear the notes that
make up.

ton to turn it on.

2. Select CHORD FINDER.

3. Use the APC MODE button to select the auto-
matic accompaniment mode you will use to
specify chords (BASIC, ADVANCED1).
• When storing chords with the SEQUENCER, this button
is not shown (MODE is fixed at BASIC).
• In the list column are shown the chords which can be
specified in each mode.
4. Use the ROOT buttons to select the root note
of the chord. Use the TYPE buttons to select
the type of chord.
• A typical way to finger the specified chord (TYPICAL) is
illustrated on a keyboard diagram.
• Each time the INV. button is pressed, different INVER-
SION fingerings are illustrated in order. (If there is no
INVERSION fingering for the specified chord, this button
is not shown on the display.)
• When the button with a picture of an ear is pressed, the
notes of the illustrated chord sound.
5. To exit the CHORD FINDER procedure, press
the EXIT button.
